parseDefaultMarkerIDs: Parse default marker IDs.

In gact/shmootl: QTL Analysis Utilities for Yeast

Description

This function parses an input vector of default marker IDs, and returns a physical mapframe with the locus in each row derived from the corresponding marker ID in the input vector. An error is raised if any of the input values cannot be parsed as a default marker ID.

Usage

parseDefaultMarkerIDs(marker.ids)

Arguments

marker.ids

Vector of default marker IDs.

Value

Physical mapframe with loci corresponding to the specified marker IDs.

Default Marker IDs

Default marker IDs are assigned to loci of a physical map if no other marker ID is available. These are of the form 'c04:0108900', where '04' is a zero-padded two-digit chromosome number and '0108900' is a zero-padded seven-digit number giving the physical map position of the given locus (i.e. the nucleotide position of the locus in the reference sequence).
